Sanctuary for Universal Peace being built in Lumbini

tour-in-lumbini

Shyalpa Tenzin Rinpoche, an American Buddhist leader, is building the Mahasiddha Sanctuary for Universal Peace in Lumbini. With the structure, Rinpoche hopes to honor the birthplace of Shakyamuni Buddha and expects it to serve as a pilgrimage site for visitors of every race, color, and creed.

Officials at the Lumbini Development Trust (LDT), a government agency that oversees Lumbini's development, say that the sanctury could be a major tourist attractionThe foundation for the sanctury was laid in November 2013 amidst a ceremony where over 2,500 devotees gathered near the Sacred Garden in Lumbini. Likewise, a formal launch ceremony took place in Hong Kong in June 2014, when a model of the temple’s design was unveiled to the public for the first time.

The sanctuary’s striking and elegant design resembles:

1) A lotus flower that grows in the mud but blossoms in the purity and the perfection of buddhahood,

2) A butter lamp, the bright flame of wisdom and clarity,

3) An offering mandala, symbolizing the enrichment and beauty of generosity, and

4) A stupa, signifying perfect enlightenment.

"We are doing much more than building a temple in Lumbini," Rinpoche said in a program to inform about the structure last week. “It is great to build temples, especially in pilgrimage sites such as Lumbini. However, everyone needs to build a temple of tolerance and peace within their own hearts."
